The Wise Advice That Descends From Above - A Glimpse into Propaganda during World War One
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "The Wise Advice That Descends From Above" offers a fascinating insight into the use of propaganda during World War One. Created by Italian illustrator Achille Beltrame in 1918, this colour lithograph depicts an extraordinary scene above the skies of Milan. In this illustration for Courier Sunday, thousands of cards are launched from airplanes high above the city. These cards carry wise advice and serve as a call to action for Italians to subscribe to the national loan. The image captures the moment when these admonishing leaflets gently descend upon the people below. Beltrame's artwork not only highlights the innovative use of aircraft as a means of distributing information but also emphasizes its significance in financing war efforts. As planes drop these financial messages from above, they symbolize both hope and urgency in securing funds for Italy's involvement in the war. The composition showcases Beltrame's mastery as an illustrator, with intricate details capturing every aspect of this historical event. The biplane flying amidst billowing clouds adds drama and dynamism to the scene while conveying a sense of national pride. "The Wise Advice That Descends From Above" serves as a reminder that art can be used not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a powerful tool for communication and persuasion during times of conflict. It invites us to reflect on how propaganda has shaped history and continues to influence public opinion even today.
